Optimization of Modern Processor Performance

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the low-level structure of processors, their architectures, instructions, cache, and intricate aspects of performance optimization. Through carefully selected cases, various benchmarks, and measurements, the book demonstrates potentially bottleneck areas in processor operation, which can be addressed through reasonable compromises to enhance its performance. It discusses tools for CPU performance analysis, computational optimization methods, memory access, memory layout, as well as details of working with registers and machine code. Special attention is given to optimizing multithreaded applications. The book will be useful for experienced software development professionals, including application, library, compiler, and operating system developers, as well as researchers and computer scientists.
